    So far, my short list is Werner, Roehl, H&M and Wel companies. I’m hoping to expand it for more choices

    Expand it by getting doubles and hazmat. Been there and reaped the rewards.

    I chuckle every time I skim the titles of these new threads from new drivers. “Don’t ever work for X, they did this terrible thing “
    Dude, maybe it’s you.

    I still have another 45lbs to lose. Maybe I’m putting the cart before the horse. It may take longer than I first predicted. New year is almost here. Btw. Everyone be safe and enjoy your holiday when you get to it.

    I’m re-reading some of my old posts from 2016. Why did I stick it out with them? Afraid of change and being the new guy I guess?

    Changing jobs is a PITA. just ask me. Its easier when you stay company driver though...

    When I lived in your area I had a job with JB Hunt doing JCPenney stores. I know that there are a few of those types of jobs that might work with you as far as getting home more often than every few weeks. Some will ask your zip code then say no either way.

    Roehl has the Lowes DC in Findlay OH
    Werner has the Best Buy in Findlay.
    JB does the Home Depot in Van Buren, OH...Just north of Findlay..Kohls in Findlay...Meijer in Lansing
    Premier does the TJMaxx/Marshalls in Monroe.
    GoTo used to do some of the Home Depot and Sams Club out of Brownstown.
    As far as Flatbed
    TMC does the Home Depot in Romulus
    South Shore was in the Lowes in Grand Ledge(Lansing) last I knew.
    There are a few that run Menards out of Holiday City, OH...Ruan is one.

    I know you have all of those stores up there, or on the way up there. Just some ideas man, good luck either way.
     
    dwells40 and Wickedfire77 Thank this.
